Usually 13-18 years of age, these courageous individuals constitute one of the few stable market segments in the current American economy. Fueled by a seemingly endless supply of their parents money (and the considerably less-endless amount they make working at the mall after school), these brave crusaders for capitalism will purchase damn near anything that's black, 80's pop culture themed, spiky, tight-fitting, or otherwise sold at Hot Topic. They're also some of the top consumers of mobile phone data plans in the nation.
Unfortunately this positive contribution to so many bottom lines makes it impractical to ship them all to a desert island until they grow out of it.

The emo kid's outfit cost $300, but somehow she still looked like shit.
Or
I wonder if emo kids will still buy $20 t-shirts when their mom stops paying their rent?

'Normal' Kid: Why do you listen to songs that say cut my wrists then you stupid cutter?
Jill/Emo Girl: I like the music...its the same as you listening to songs saying I shoot hoes...just because a song says something doesn't mean the person who listens to it copies it...so go away now.

Annoying adolescents and/or teenagers who insist they are "depressed" but in reality, just want attention. They usually tend to listen to music that involves skinny guys whining and "screaming" about things that supposedly have deep meaning. The drummers of these bands often try to look cool by using a double bass pedle (stop kidding yourselves, you suck). They tend to make fun of any other genre of rock music and only like bands (especially underground ones) until they become popular. Once they're popular "they suck".
They can't admit that they bought an article of clothing in hot topic b/c that would make them a "poseur". <Newsflash: you're a poseur if you shop there and THEN do not admit that you do.>
They also mosh like pussies. If you're going to go into a pit, fucking stop swinging and actually mosh or else you WILL get knocked the fuck down.
Simply put, they just need to stop crying and actually try to see all the great things that they DO have in their lives, instead of whining about that girl who dumped them in 7th grade.

All the little emo kids I hang out w/ are so annoying. All I ever hear them talk about is how great a new band is that no one has ever heard of.. by next week everyone will know all of that band's songs by heart and then no one will like them a week after that.

someone who used to like punk and ska and make fun of emo but then everyone turned emo so they started 're-evaluating life' and wallow in depression. does a lot of name dropping in references to band. beleives in scene points. assures you they listened to any band before you did. when you admit you listen to said band, they admit they don't listen to said band anymore because they got too popular. also quotes obscure lyrics in aim profile, hangs out on friendster, and fits into nothing but youth large or adult small, regardless of body type, and hands always go in the back pockets. carabiner key chains help too.
that kid, standing in the back, in the dark, with the big glasses, and the haircut that looks like he cut it himself... such an emo kid

emo kids usually hate when their favorite bands are on MTV cuz they have "sold out" also most emo boys wear girl pants, tight little shirts(band shirts or old thrift store shirts) and have long hair dyed black or dark red or streaks of lighter colors on black or dark brown.

Just another person in the world, Normaly can see the world for what it really is. Sometimes likes to listen to music with more meaning then most other music types. Does not like to be noticed or care what you think. Can't stand the wanna-be emo kids who focus on how they look.

Emo ppl r ppl who dont fit into the mainstream.
contrary to popular belief, they dont all slit their wrists. and not all are always depressed. dont wear glasses unless they need them. they all have their own original style, and the base is any clothes that r black, stripy, checkered, random, or are band merchandise. black skinny jeans are popular, but not mandatory. other options are black skirts, 3/4 pants, short shorts with short dress. accessories are the messenger bag, has patches, pins, badges, and whatever they want to put on it, and jewlery is coloured bracelets, wrist bands, black nail polish, arm warmers, random socks or just black socks, or stocking socks, chucks, punk shoes, checkered anklets, kung-fu shoes, black sandals. hair is usualy black, with streaks or dark red in it, short at the back teased with a comb, or spiked, and tapered to long over the front, cropped fringe to the side, or long over one eye, or shaved on one side to long over the other side, or some girls have layered shoulder-length hair. dark eyeliner and mascara is totaly necessary. some have red on top of that..and white foundation, red lipstick. i go a bit diff and have pink lip-gloss, but u get the picture, u can get away with whatever if u have the format..
emo kids r creative. expressive through poetry, song-writing, art. going to shows of their fav bands, and 2 meet friends.
love music., listening to records, and on i-pods. i have CDs. i heard its not emo to have CDs, but whoever said that can kiss my emo ass, coz CDs are just another way 2 listen 2 music- which is the main part!
